Speech Title: Application of multiple targets tracking in computer vision

Abstract: With the wide application of intelligent video surveillance in various public areas such as transportation hubs and business districts and excellent performance in security and passenger flow monitoring, computer vision technology on which it relies has become a research hotspot. Multiple target tracking is under a research direction in the field of computer vision, through analyzing the video data obtained by passengers or the location of the pedestrians and trajectory. It has high initiative, real-time and practicality relative to other positioning method which could be well applied to the safety protection, public health, traffic analysis, etc. This speech mainly focuses on the current mainstream of visual technology and multiple target tracking technology. I will introduce related definition and principle in the field of computer vision and multi-target tracking and analyze the application prospects of civil aviation by economic value, and face difficulties and challenges, which leads to the current cases and methods. Finally, the future development trend and innovation direction of tracking algorithm and engineering project will be discussed.
